Answer:

The solution set is (-20/9, -95/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve using the substitution method, start by solving the second equation for y.

1/3y = 7/3x + 5/3

y = 7x + 5

Now that we have this, we can plug it in for y in the first equation. Then we can solve for x.

-4x - 2(7x + 5) = 30

-4x - 14x - 10 = 30

-18x - 10 = 30

-18x = 40

x = -20/9

Now that we have the value of x, we can solve for y by inputting the x value into either equation.

-4x - 2y = 30

-4(-20/9) - 2y = 30

80/9 - 2y = 30

80/9 - 2y = 270/9

-2y = 190/9

y = -95/9

Mr. Brown owned a house, which he rented for $60 a month. The house was assessed at $9000. In 1975 the rate of taxation was incr

Alexandra [31]

We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax

Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252

Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%

The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%

Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12

The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month

Find the difference between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14) to the nearest tenth.

svlad2 [7]

I'm not sure what you mean by difference, so I am guessing you meant to write "distance". If this is not the case, then feel free to report me. Anyway, to find the distance between two points you would use the distance formula.

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ .

Let's substitute our point coordinates into the formula. We'll substitute -1 and 6 for x_2 and x_1, and 14 and 16 for y_2 and y_1. After substituting, your formula will now look like: $d=\sqrt{(-1-6)^2+(14-16)^2}$ .
